A map of the Lake Eyre Basin. The Lake Eyre Basin is the largest endorheic basin in Australia and is over 1.14 million square kilometres. [22] The basin lies in the north east of the state of South Australia. Its South Australian territory is predominantly semi-arid to arid land.
This article deals with surface water rather than groundwater basins, such as the Great Artesian Basin. Australia has twelve distinguished NCB Level 1 drainage divisions [1] or thirteen [2] after splitting the South East Coast division at the New South Wales–Victoria border as defined by the Australian Water Resources Assessment 2012, a ...
The basin underlies 22% of the Australian continent, [3] including most of Queensland, the south-east corner of the Northern Territory, north-eastern South Australia, and northern New South Wales. It is 3000 metres (9800 feet) deep in places and is estimated to contain 64,900 cubic kilometres (15,600 cubic miles) of groundwater . [ 4 ]

It covers parts of Queensland, the Northern Territory, South Australia, and New South Wales, and is a major component of the Great Artesian Basin. The Eromanga Basin covers 1,000,000 km 2 [1] and overlaps part of the Cooper Basin.
The South Australian gulf drainage division is the area surrounding the Gulf St Vincent and Spencer Gulf and a sliver of country to the immediate north. It includes 75,000 square kilometres of mostly moderately flat territory, broken only by the Mount Lofty Ranges which reach 932 metres at their highest point.
The Otway Basin is a northwest trending sedimentary basin located along the southern coast of Australia. The basin covers an area of 150,000 square kilometers and spans from southeastern South Australia to southwestern Victoria , with 80% lying offshore in water depths ranging from 50-3,000 meters. [ 1 ]
